BEEM: Biological Emergence Based Evolutionary Mechanism - How Species Direct Their Own Evolution

by Raju Pookottil

Even after 150 years of its inception, proof for natural selection is extremely limited and many scientists are still unsure of the theory’s potential to fully explain many of evolution’s mysteries. What if natural selection is not the main mechanism driving the evolution of species?
​
BEEM is a bold and novel alternative hypothesis. It explores a mechanism by which species could be utilizing a built-in capability to intelligently and logically modify themselves over many generations, making changes to their own genes where necessary and thus, directing their own evolution.

About the author

Raju Pookottil is an engineer by trade. With a life-long interest in science, evolution, and an ongoing speculation about the accepted wisdom that 'natural selection' is the main driving force of evolution, Pookottil has applied his engineer's eye to a biological question which has puzzled scientists for decades: 'What causes species to evolve?'.

He has come to an original and compelling hypothesis which presents a convincing argument for BEEM - biological emergence-base evolutionary mechanism.

Reviews

[Louis · Rating 5 out of 5]

An intriguing hypothesis which puts forward a possible alternative evolution mechanism to natural selection. I've always been sceptical of how natural selection, alone, could explain the process of evolution. Pookottil puts forward a convincing suggestion, his BEEM hypothesis.
